Just to let you know I have three Shar-pei. Read about the difference between meat mouth Shar-pei and bone mouth Sharpei. You will need a Bone Mouth Shar pei for hunting. They were the line bread for hunting. I have one bone and two meat mouth. The meat mouth are lazy more like a bulldog. The bone mouth are agressive and love to chase. Make sure you put the money out and get one from a reputable breeder it will cost money and make sure they will pay for the eye surgery of entroption which creeps in the line. Be prepared for a bit more work due to the shape of ears. The Shar-pei ears are unique in the animal kingdom. You have to flush them once a week. You will have to purchase medicine for the life of the dog to combat yeast in the ears. YEA IT SUCKS ESPECIALLY WITH THREE. But the breed does pay off you do not need a security system in the house. They will tear anyone that walks in the door unannounced. Some people like that some do not. Also with feeding they need a lower protein diet then most breeds. I suggest VERUS Fish due to the lower protein. A secret in the pei world is one with the least wrinkles have the least amount of problems. If you need anymore info hit me up.
